A/N: Short chapter but I have a pretty big one coming next time! Enjoy. Please review!

Regina woke up to Emma's phone buzzing incessantly on the nightstand. Groggily she shook the pale shoulder that was on her chest.

"Emma, come on, your phone is ringing, go answer it."

"Mmm, I don't want to," Emma answered sleepily, squeezing Regina's waist tighter with the arm that was already draped across the bare skin. "Can't I get it later?"

"No, come on dear, it's time to get up and get dinner started anyway." Regina placed a soft kiss on the top of blonde tresses and sat herself up causing Emma to roll over onto the bed. The phone's vibrations started again. "Get your phone." Regina walked into the bathroom and heard the muffled sounds of Emma's voice through the door. Something seemed off so Regina walked back into the bedroom only to hear panic in the blonde's voice as she talked on the phone.

"What do you mean you don't know where he is?" Emma yelled into the phone, pushing the screen to put it on speakerphone.

"Emma, I swear we were at the playground and he was playing with the mechanic's kids and I started talking to the guy, whatever his name is, and you know, his two kids came up to us and asked where Henry went."

"What did you do with my son?" Regina screamed, her fury uncontainable.

"Emma, come on, why am I on speaker? I asked if I could talk to you alone," Neal said, almost in a whine. "Look, Regina, Emma, I've been searching in the woods for almost an hour, I can't find him."

"You waited an hour to call us?" Emma yelled. "What is wrong with you, Neal?"

"Just come and help me, I'm worried."

"Yeah, you should be. And if I were you, I'd worry about what happens after we find him because I'm not going to stop Regina from whatever she wants to do to you."

"Yeah, alright."

"And get your father to help."

She threw the phone at the wall after Neal agreed. She went into the closet and grabbed the first clothes from each side of the walls, chucking one set to Regina. The women dressed themselves and Emma called Snow and Charming to start looking at the far end of town. They enlisted the dwarves and everyone was searching from each side of the town for any trace of Henry.

"Regina, what if…what if we can't find him?" Emma asked as they got out of the car to start searching the beach.

"We'll find him, Emma. We'll find him."

Regina's chest was tight with panic, she was worried about what could have happened to Henry. He was a smart boy, he would scream if someone hurt him or tried to take him. He knew better than to wander off without telling someone where he was going, and he wouldn't run away at this point, not with how happy they all were. She was also concerned about the amount of stress she could practically seem emanating from Emma's shoulders.

"Emma," Regina said, waiting for the blonde to look at her. Once jade eyes were looking into chocolate ones, Regina grasped one of the pale hands with her own. "I need you to make me a promise." Emma looked at Regina with a confused expression, but nodded. "I need for you to promise that if this search gets dangerous you will go home."

"I'm sorry, Regina, what?"

"If something happens that could potentially harm you I will need you to leave."

"Are you crazy? I'm not leaving you to find our son alone. That's stupid."

"Maybe it is, but I will be of no use if I am concerned about your safety and that of our unborn child. You cannot put yourself in harm's way like you are usually so willing to do. I need you to promise me, Emma. I can't bear it if something happens to Henry, but I couldn't bear it if something happened to the two of you either, and I will be much more powerful if I'm not distracted with worry about you." Emma looked like she wanted to argue about it more but instead looked away and nodded. "Good. Now, let's go find our son."

The two women checked the cannery, searching behind and under anything in their way. After they found nothing, they moved onto the docks. Snow and Charming were searching the woods by the town line Emma had crossed coming into Storybrooke, but Emma had a feeling about the beach, which was why they headed there. Emma picked around driftwood and kicked at rocks, frustrated at the fact that every time things looked safe, something bad happened, something that always involved Henry being in danger.

"Who do you think would do this?"

"I don't know, Emma. As far as I know there isn't anyone else that wants to destroy me that would be willing to hurt Henry to do it."

"You think this is about you?"

"Isn't it always?"

"Regina, you can't think like that. He probably just saw something and wanted to find it and got lost in the woods."

"Emma, if you really believed that, why would you have been so adamant about searching here of all places? This is far enough away from the playground that he wouldn't have accidentally wandered here and gotten lost."

"Well, ok, do you have anymore, uh… enemies that want to get back at you?"

Regina looked at Emma with one eyebrow raised. "Emma, nearly everyone is my enemy, I'm not really sure I can pinpoint one or two people."

"Right, well, any that are powerful enough to be willing to battle you?"

"I don't know, dear. No one ever could challenge me before except people with magic and I really can't think of anymore magic users."

"Jefferson?"

"No. I really don't think he would hurt Henry. Henry is the one who pushed him to reconnect with Grace, I just don't think that he would do it. Besides, Jefferson and I are sort of on decent terms again. I mean, since I offered to fix what I had broken."

"You did?"

"Yeah, um, after we got back from Neverland and I decided I wanted to undo as much damage as I could. I offered to give them new memories but Grace didn't want it."

"Oh. Ok."

In the time that the women were speaking they had made their way to the far end of the beach where it met the woods. Emma felt a surge of pain and choked when she saw what looked like shoeprints begin dragged off the sand. Regina looked at the ground where Emma was staring and knelt down, touching her hand to the sand and making shoe tracks glow on the ground through the woods.

Emma called Snow and Charming for back up while Regina called Tinkerbell and asked her to please find Neal and Rumple to meet them at the station. The two women began carefully following the glowing tracks on the ground. Emma took Regina's hand for comfort and the two trekked carefully through the woods. Emma kept one hand on her gun, ready to control the situation. When the tracks came to an end, Regina screamed a sound so high-pitched and bloodcurdling. Emma, who had fallen behind checking the woods more thoroughly, ran to Regina to see what happened. Looking down where Regina's eyes were staring, she saw Henry lying on the ground, cuts all over his face and arms. There was a bandana tied around his face acting as a gag over his mouth and there was a lot of dried blood across his body and underneath him soaking into the soil.

Emma knelt down and checked for a pulse. It was light, but there. Emma picked him up, carrying him one arm at the backs of his knees and the other supporting his neck. The two women walked as quickly as possible but at a slower pace than they wished. Henry had gotten taller and heavier since she first came to Storybrooke. Thankfully, Snow and David had made their way a decent distance into the woods and ran to the two women, Snow nearly in tears. David took Henry and the four made their way out of the woods at a much faster pace.

"We need to get him to the hospital. I can heal him a little, but not quite as much as he needs," Regina choked. She and Emma clambered into the backseat of their car and Henry was laid across their legs. David and Snow were in the front seat and David quickly sped in the direction of the hospital. Snow called Neal and told him to let everyone know that they had found Henry and they would be at the hospital.

Henry was rushed into a trauma room to be looked over and to have a transfusion started and nobody was allowed to enter the room. Regina paced quickly while Emma sat in a chair and followed her with her eyes. Neal ran into the waiting room desperate for answers, followed by Rumple and Belle.

"Where is he? What happened? Is he ok?" Neal asked desperately.

Regina stopped pacing and put on her evil queen face. She walked up to Neal, their noses inches from touching. "I swear on your life, if he is not ok, you will not be ok. I will destroy you if Henry isn't ok. How could you stop watching him? How could you let someone do this to him? He was cut, all over, in probably a hundred places, bleeding out slowly! What if he lost too much blood? What if he isn't ever ok? How can you live with yourself?" Regina was shouting in Neal's face.

"Regina, come on, calm down," Emma scolded. She was standing now and gripping Regina's bicep, squeezing reassuringly. "Henry will be fine. Calm down, sweetie."

"Regina, listen, I'm sorry. I thought he would be fine, I just looked away for a minute to talk to the other dad. He was playing with other kids. I'm sorry."

"I don't want to hear it. You're not forgiven until I know my son is going to be fine!"

Footsteps approached the group and everyone turned around to face the owner of them. Standing in front of Regina and Neal, who were now shoulder to shoulder, was Doctor Whale.

"I have news on Henry's condition."

Six words that started a sentence they all needed to hear the ending of.
